Re: Real Time Scoring?

I went to the Kickoff event in Manchester, NH where they had a field setup. The discs are indeed measured by weight to determine score, and when we asked the field crew there if they would count discs that were not fully on the bottom of the goal, but were resting on the lip as described above, they insisted they would be counted. I would wage a guess that since they know each disc is 180g, they'll just round to the nearest one using software.

They also had the stands setup for the manual scoring by the refs (touch screens on stands), so that would likely be used for the pyramid score tracking.
